In 1420, Portuguese explorers discovered the uninhabited island of Madeira. 
 

It became a favourite stopover for travellers, and sailors, missionaries and botanists docked there with exotic plants brought back from distant places.In the nineteenth century, many parks, gardens and "quintas" - great agricultural estates - were founded on the Garden Island of Madeira. One such was Quinta do Palheiro, created in 1804 by the Count of Carvalhal.
